Summary

If you didn’t believe professional sports were scripted before, this weekend may change your mind. Luka Dončić joins LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, while Anthony Davis is shipped to Dallas to join Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Whitlock recounts all the trade and free-agent gifts the Lakers have received throughout their tenure in the NBA. It almost seems as if the league orchestrates these blockbuster trades to bring star players to Hollywood. Steve Kim joins the discussion as Whitlock connects the dots and reveals that the media has abandoned its duty to be the voice of the people. ESPN, Fox Sports, and other facade media platforms have all traded their authenticity for access to these propped-up, entitled athletes. This has led to the downfall of both professional sports and mainstream media. Take a look around professional sports in America. The Kansas City Chiefs seemingly have a great relationship with the referees, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have assembled the most expensive roster in American sports history. These unfair advantages significantly undermine the credibility of sports. However, one bright spot is the WNBA. The Indiana Fever are looking to build on Caitlin Clark’s successful rookie season. The Fever’s front office has been busy, adding players to perfectly complement the ascending Clark. Will the Fever win a championship with Clark at the helm in the near future? Last but certainly not least, Shemeka Michelle addresses Kanye’s latest attention-grabbing cry for help — this time involving his exposed wife! Thank you for starting your week with us.
